    Naw not like Pathfinder stuff (although if I do get involved and get started at character building I will probably be hitting you up with questions)

    Their forum is just really weird and intimidating

    Like, I am pretty sure I am not supposed to be there

    what's that one wizard archetype that lets you enchant black powder rifles and shoot magic bullets at people

    Spellslinger? is that any good? i don't know anything about pathfinder really i just saw it going through one of my friend's books and thought it looked fuckin' rad

    we talkin' about monster races

    I'm a big fan of tengu

    i love to bring this up

    the 4e monster manual bugbear makes a decent sorcerer.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    when i was real into 4e the bugbear was the most overpowered race you could pick for most martial classes

    most DMs i played with wouldn't allow it to be used in character creation

  • StraightziStraightzi Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered User regular
    Yeah the bugbear was kind of ridiculous

    Oversized weapons->hubcap sized shruiken->sneak attack

    I always include Yak Folk in any D&D campaign I run, I love them too much not to have them somewhere in the world being complete assholes.

That is right, we enslave genies. Now if you don't mind I am going to mystically climb inside your friend, possess him and make him kill you all..."

    Not sure what you mean by Lightningcheese, but permafrost/frostcheese was determined to not be sufficiently OP to be worth nerfing. It's a relatively heavy investment for what you get. I'm actually building it onto my Warlord (because I found an awesome rare axe that does cold damage), and it's not all that amazing.

    Lightningcheese is definitely a thing, but again, not nearly OP enough to be worth nerfing.

    lightning cheese is

    lightning weapon + mark of storm + deadly draw

  • ToxTox I kill threads he/himRegistered User regular
    Okay yeah, no I don't think they've nerfed that either. Again, it's not really "cheese" when it takes up like half your build options (and with all the current options there are for going with a specific energy type, it does take up about half of them).

    Also best idea i ever had was snobgoblins.

    I typically treat goblins like rats, different areas have different goblins, so what if the rich part of the town had goblins?

    They're basically goblins dressed in fancy clothing as well as being all pimped and blinged out. it's delightful.

    GURPS Goblins did something along these lines
    cover_lg.jpg

    this in no way shocks me.

    I often have ideas that people had before me but i never knew about.

    It's like the nuclear bomb, all over again.

    It's not limited to there. The Marco Volo AD&D adventures included this tribe of scallywags back in 1994:
    The Noble Cavaliers
    This grand moniker is the name of one of the Spiderhaunt's
    most peculiar goblin bands, of which there are
    many. Their king, Artemis, apparently read a lot of
    human literary romances before deciding upon this
    name. [...] Most of the other Cavaliers
    joined in with enthusiasm. They have been wreaking
    havoc in the forest ever since.
    The Cavaliers have affected a somewhat unusual
    attire —for goblins, anyway. They dress in humanstyle
    finery-plumed hats, velvet or satin tunics with
    lace collars, bucket boots, baldrics, etc. Most of these
    items were looted from travelers, and they do not all
    fit perfectly. The Noble Cavaliers also speak in a
    stilted, pseudo-literary style, and imitate the manners
    of foppish dandies, duelists, and adventurers. Typical
    dialogue from the Cavaliers includes:

    “Ho, varlet! Have at you!”
    “
    Stand and fight like a man, coward!”
    “
    Is that the best you can do, me bucko?”
    “
    Ha! You think I’m afraid? Well, think again, my
    man!”
    “
    You killed my father; prepare to die.”


    The Noble Cavaliers are relatively honorable fighters.
    They shun bows and other missile weapons, preferring
    to cross swords with their opponents and test
    their mettle. They nevertheless retain several traditional
    goblin tactics, including ambush and sneak
    attacks.

    Looking over pathfinder, and wanted to ask, is there any purpose for this spell:
    http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/skinsend

    You get to send your skin (halve your hit points, 3 strength, and construct type) to do things for you, while your skinless body stays behind a helpless lump. If your skin gets killed or you can't get back to your body before the spell ends, you are stuck in a coma until you get a Heal spell. That is a level 2 spell that needs a level 6 spell to save you if you mess up.

    Who would use this?

    Maybe you need to get somewhere very, very tight or restricting.

    Or perhaps you use the spell, an ally casts Disguise Other, and you disguise yourself as a jacket in an espionage type mission.

    What I am trying to get at is there are options.

    Oh my god. I have the book, but I always just completely skipped over them, thinking: 'Ah, an oriental minotaur. How quaint.'

    But no, they were secretly my second favorite monster race of all time.
    The first being the Kaorti. Cause the idea of mixing Alien with Wizards is incredible.

    Is there rules for making an undead into armor? Like, full-on wearing a dude to augment your strength? I've never seen any.

    no

    3.5 had undead grafts and pale-masters but nothing about wearing "living" undead

    you could ostensibly say your synthesist suit looked undead I guess in pathfinder

  • zekebeauzekebeau Registered User regular
    Thank you zongul, the jacket thing is the best suggestion ever for the use of a crawling bag of skin.

    Although squeezing in a tight place, I think leaving 90% of your mass behind kind of defeats most benefits to fitting in a mouse hole, but I guess there are times you need such a thing.
